Dear Julie, Tom, Patty and Peggy,

I was so sorry to hear about your dad. I will always remember him at our piano playing any song that one would request (usually an Irish one). He and your mom were such great friends to my parents,I know how hard it is for my mom and dad right now and can only imagine how difficult these days are for all of you. They did have great times together, didn't they? My condolences to all of you.
